Flex-vision-module

Available for the whole range of FLEX test systems, the vision
module allows for a camera and supporting software to be
added to the tester. Our self-learn capability offers rapid program
development and debug.
Sherlock Software
Sherlock is advanced machine vision software that can be applied to
a wide variety of automated inspection tasks. The graphical design
environment provides a rich suite of proven tools and capabilities
that have been deployed in thousands of installations worldwide.
Recognised throughout the machine vision industry, Sherlock offers
the flexibility to satisfy the full spectrum of vision applications.
Sherlock also provides Monitor, Reporter, and Watch utilities for
gaining insight into vision task program flow, internal/external
events, internal variables, or other parameters as you run the vision
application.
